People experiencing homelessness are disproportionately impacted by the drug toxicity crisis and a new report looks closely at the resulting opioid-related toxicity deaths taking place in Ontario\u2019s shelter system. This webinar is being held to launch the report, produced by the Ontario Drug Policy Research Network and Public Health Ontario, alongside community organizations and people with lived and living experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the webinar, speakers share a summary of findings, as well as implications for policy and practice. This is followed by a discussion among community-based organizations and people with lived experience on how the report\u2019s findings can help inform program improvements, as well as services and supports in shelters across the province. Speakers provide strategies that can guide harm reduction interventions, improve access to healthcare and help prevent avoidable deaths from substance use in shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
